I think the greatest peeve I got pertaining to this issue is the gross double standard women in the modern age hold men to. We have to be the bread winners. WE MUST be sucessful. And a lot of women equate a sdtable relationship with other women as successful. No man or woman is an island. Sad but true. God if I had a woman in my life helping me take life istelf on and not acting like a spineless worthless house sitter trolling face book all day long "We" would be a lot farther ahead of the game than just me or her winging it alone. Also it is impossible for me to have a posititve attitude all the time. I ran out of "Happy" Yellow paint to paint happy faces ion all the BS in this world. I have a positive attitude when I have a reason to but it isn't like I walk around all day going like this.... And Navygirl, I so WANT TO ARM WRESTLE YOU!I bet I can take ya!!!!! Again; I have to speak for myself that no man in my life has ever been a bread winner; actually he has been a drain on me financially. No man or woman are an Island but that is where friends and family come in; one need not be in a relationship. I sometimes wonder if men don't bring this grief on themselves. For instance; they say they want an independent woman that can do things for herself but when they meet her; they run the opposite direction as they feel they are not needed by the woman. Or my favourite; they state they want a woman they can take care of and pamper and when the woman is what they want; they whine that the woman is useless. This is exactly why I choose to stay single as I want to be the person I want to be. As for staying positive; no one can walk around staying positive all the time. Things get us down and its perfectly human to feel pissed off or depressed. If people can't accept that; then that is their problem. Its possible you will win the arm wrestling dear; but I won't go down witout one hell of a fight.

You are right, it is perfectly natural for people to get down and depressed.
Frankly, i expect nothing from online dating and i don't base my self-worth or happyness on it but i do get dissapointed, not even so much that it hasn't become a date factory but peoples behavior. I am not talking about the forums but what i mentioned in my earlier post. It brings out the worst in people. Shyness, Vanity, Arrogance, Paranoia and Apprehention, Self-Doubt, General flakyness and lack of common courtesy. So yea, Andy lots of us feel your pain. Long walks are my personal best friend (i can't have a dog in my apt :( You seem like an interesting and smart guy, Have you traveled? I have only traveled once before but during that time i met more interesting people, made more friends and yes even met more women then i typically do where i live. Some people make traveling a permanent part of there lives. I would suggest youth-hostels but if you havent done it yet i warn you, they are rough and you will never sleep..... |

I very recently spent two weeks in the BACKWOODS of Northern California rockhounding! Where I was there was no bathrooms, facilities, or anything other than a mountain, forest, and dirt. I was in Lassen (Modoc National Forest) and Mount Pearson Northern end of the Long Valley. I was in the mountains and in the high desert.
So yes I do travel. I even did some light rockhounding in the Orego Badlands on that trip on my way back from Portalnd. I would love to have an excuse to go to Oregon again but since my mom moved from there I have no real reason to visit again. I do intend another visit to Mount Pearson. I camp Iron Man style. |

Ain't even worth scrubbing a deck? |

Now after reading this, am I the only one out there who feels like this? Is this whole "I want an honest man/woman," a cliche line or what? Yes. Also see "Looks don't matter," "It's what's on the inside that counts," "I'm looking for an intelligent guy," and "I'm laid back and easy going," etc. All of these, and about 99% of everything else you see in dating site profiles, are so cliched that it requires absolutely no functioning brain cells to write them. ummm I'll counter that with "must love camping" (WTF why? when there is a perfectly comfortable BED in the house) "I have a few beers now & then" (means I will go out and get plastered as often as I feel like it with boys only, as soon as you have said "yes" and I have that ring on your finger) "No drama" (this man openly baits his ex in the front yard, starts arguments at parent teacher functions and tries to make every married woman in the "hood" - no drama, uh huh...translation = I will create a TON of drama with my bad behavior and u cannot say one word about it.) Well, I'm not going to try to justify any of those behaviors, because none of them apply to me. I can see where all of them would be total turnoffs. |

Ain't even worth scrubbing a deck? Yes, you are right about my past BFs, but I call them "Gash" which is our term for garbage. I know we are supposed to learn from out past mistakes and just move on. I am at the point that I am tird of getting knocked down and yes my past BFs contributed to it but also just meeting men on a daily basis has put me off dating/relationships for good. Life is too short to subject myself to anymore misery. |

I can see where all of them would be total turnoffs. well I am only half serious Lex - I see some humor there, and I am exaggerating to some degree as well (I hope). I agree that's it's best to avoid uber used cliches in profiles because it doesn't tell anything about the person except that they can't think of anything to say...

I think you just need to take it with a pinch of salt, otherwise it gets a bit much. Just ignore the ones that ignore you,
